HAVE I EVER SHARED THIS PIC? 3/3....Spiral of life and handmade bracelets by yours truly. Learned a spiritual lesson last week that has to do with my spiral of life, or the path i'm walking...when it comes to my business i have always fought for cooperating with other businesses, brands, festival organisators, eventmanagers etc. I put a lot of energy and effort in these cooperations for the simple reason that i believed in them! I believed that we shared same values and complement each others brands. I believed we matched perfectly. Why i mention the word fighting is because a lot of times i had to MAKE them see why we would be a perfect match whereas for me it was quite evident! As a result of this i was dropped cold many more times than you can imagine.....for example using my proposed concept but letting someone else execute it, or telling me we drop the henna part but finding out that ghere was another a cheaper artist cause they don't care about my achievements....they want "just" henna....but my art is not just henna as well as i believed that they werent "just" something......so all of this happened because i cannot make people see what i see!!! I can't and i have tried sooooo hard.... with every cell in my body.... and i have to accept that!! A very though lesson! because i believed in their concepts, brands, ideas and that commitment wasn't mutual...when a business relation starts out like that, there is no equavalence and that leads to putting myself second in the benefit of others, that leads to tresspassing of my own conditions....all because i believed that this SHOULD work! After ten years it has sucked out my energy, for every succesfull cooperation there are 9 of these experiences. Last week i decided it was enough. Don't step into the same trap over and over again....if someting is meant to be it will manifest itself in an energetic way.

HAVE I EVER SHARED THIS PIC? 2/3~ Hand of Fatima with a Hand of Fatima lol... I know in general my work is regarded as Moroccan...but most of my designs that i share on insta are not traditionally Moroccan. But this one is a 99% traditional design (1% isn't, the fingertips...lol didn't know what i was doing there...hhh) As you can see Moroccan is not just straight lines and there can be flowers and vines too... I would call this style a combination of Fessi and Mrakchi and a bit of Moroccan khaliji.... if you have questions about this subject, please let me know in the comments! Because i will do a Q&A live video soon, to talk about all these matters. I will keep you posted about date and time! Make sure you will be there 💕 #hennaart #hand #skin #bodyart #hennastain #hennastainresult #artistic #design #handoffatima #hennaartist #pro #expert #adornment #silver #berber #jewelry #northafrica #morocco #freestyle #crazy #hennadesign #beautyritual #culture #heritage #expression #fessi #mrakchi

HAVE I EVER SHARED THIS PIC? 1/3~ Getting lost in my photo files.....i always make too much pictures and at this point it is just like an iceberg...the little top is what you all can see on social media...but the real mountain is hidden...in my computer, laptop, memory cards, external hardrive and cameraroll on my phone....and all is full!!! My goal is to organise my work more efficiently.....getting there...but very sloooooooooowly....any advice you want to share? #hennaart #hand #skin #bodyart #hennastain #hennastainresult #artistic #design #signaturelook #handoffatima #hennaartist #pro #expert #adornment #silver #berber #jewelry #northafrica #morocco #freestyle #crazy #hennadesign #beautyritual #culture #heritage #expression #nourishyourself

TOOLS OF THE TRADE~ Look for my glass syringe in this picture! Can you find it or are your eyes distracted by the amount of Berber Bling in this pic? Well it is never too much for me, obviously. I love it and this picture shows my love for artisan products! I've been carrying this pretty heavy Handira around for quite some time now, it has always de decorated my booth but since i'm redoing my bedroom I'm thinking of hanging it on the wall....would be great right? #henna #hennaaplicator #hennasyringe #glass #syringe #blunt #needletip #moroccan #technique #traditional #way of #applying #hennadesigns #toolsofthetrade #handira #handoffatima #khmisa #khmissa #hamsa #pouch #artisan #morocco #art #culture #heritage

Mooie ‘plaatjes’ met Henna kunst in Roosendaal 23-08-2017 Het festival Artisjok vind jaarlijks plaats in Roosendaal en is bedoeld om leerlingen van HAVO en VWO kennis te laten maken met diverse kunst en cultuur vormen d.m.v. het volgen van workshops. Het thema is dit jaar Beauty and the beast; Over hoe je met sociale media als Instagram en Facebook de werkelijkheid kan manipuleren en wat de keerzijde hiervan kan zijn. Op 28 september 2017 vindt het Artisjok festival plaats op diverse locaties in Roosendaal. Fatima Oulad Thami ontwikkelde een Henna Workshop op maat, genaamd "Maak je mooie 'plaatjes' met Henna Kunst?", waarbij dit thema aangesneden wordt. In onderstaande aankondiging, die ook te lezen is op de Artisjok website waar de deelnemende leerlingen zich inschrijven, lees je hoe Fatima's concept in elkaar steekt. De Henna Workshop vindt plaats in Rabobank Galerie de Kring in Roosendaal Aankondiging Henna Kunst op de huid bestaat al duizenden jaren en wordt toegepast in verschillende culturen. Door gebruik te maken van de kleurende eigenschappen van de hennaplant zijn deze traditionele rituelen inmiddels uitgegroeid tot een ware kunstvorm die Fatima Oulad Thami meester is. Zij geeft wereldwijd, onder de naam Hand of Fatima, Henna Masterclasses en nu is de eer aan jou om een Hennaworkshop bij haar te volgen. Je leert met geduld en precisie een prachtige hennaversiering aan te brengen op je huid. Hennaversieringen zijn eigenlijk géén plaatjes, maar patronen, figuren en symbolen. Jij gaat er wél een mooi plaatje van maken! Een foto van je henna kunst werk maak je namelijk niet zomaar, nadat je de versiering hebt aangebracht. Daar komt heel wat meer bij kijken….denk aan compositie en positie, achtergond en props. Ga jij de uitdaging aan? Hand of Fatima is in de Internationale hennascene een bekende naam. Op social media pagina’s als Instagram en Facebook zijn inmiddels meer dan 20k fans te vinden. Dat heeft Henna Kunstenaar Fatima Oulad Thami wellicht bereikt door haar artistieke foto’s die zij van haar prachtige Henna Kunstwerken maakt en online post. Een like of een hartje is binnen een seconde met één simpele klik te geven. Maar hoe lang duurde het eigenlijk voordat onze Henna kunstenaar haar eindresultaat bereikt had? In deze workshop ervaar je zelf hoeveel vaardigheid en oefening ervoor nodig is om een mooi hennadesign te maken, maar ook welke passie en moeite er achter een mooi "Instagram plaatje” schuilgaat alvorens het gepost wordt. Fatima deelt haar ervaringen en laat jou eigenhandig hetzelfde ervaren. Klik op één van onderstaande afbeeldingen om naar de Artisjok website te gaan. Vanaf 9 oktober 2017 kun je foto's bekijken van de workshop: "Maak je mooie "plaatjes" met Henna Kunst?

In between paint jobs in my bedroom, a little henna paint job on myself...hihi...pretty happy with the stain if you take in consideration that i have been painting walls and shelves and putting up wall paper...and looooots of cleaning my hands. Anyway in the back the other wall that has a mustard color now....i guess i long for the sun...this was quite a rainy and cloudy summer holiday so far..... #handoffatima #headquarter #underconstruction #lol #hennadesign #design #hennaart #art on #skin #hennastain #roots #heritage #culture #patterns #natural #henna #handmade #bracelet #freestyle #hennadesign #mustard #turquoise #housedecor #interior #eclectic #colorful

SUMMER PROJECT~ You might have noticed my absence last weeks... I thought it was time for a summer break from henna business. But i didn't went on holiday or anyting...9 years ago i moved into this place and since then i have remodeled my sons bedroom twice. The bathroom, kitchen, livingroom and deskspace everything has been done....except my sleepingroom...it was a horible room aka storage room aka laundry space etc....it was anything but a bedroom...so i started clean-up, throw old stuff out, undo the walls from the grey wallpaper and rebuild the space....this is my color scheme and my new walls in the background. Thank god my family helped me with this project...it is still not finished but I'm getting there!!!
